Ave of The Americas/West Broadway

A stiff breeze off the Hudson still carries the city’s pulse straight to the glass doors of Ave of The Americas/West Broadway. The bus station hums day and night, feeding riders onto a dozen intercity routes that cut south to midtown or north to the outer boroughs. A single brownstone slice of New York 10013 holds the hub, plain enough that locals treat it like a second subway stop.

Inside the doors, ticket machines accept cash or card, digital boards cycle arrival times, and a bank of real-time departure screens keeps everyone moving. Service counters handle tickets for New Jersey, upstate, and beyond, while a separate counter sorts express routes direct to JFK or Newark. No bells and whistles—just a clear path to the gate.

Dial 212-564-8100 for schedules or a quick check of tomorrow’s departures, then plot the route on a map with directions on Google. It’s the kind of place you’ll use more often than you expect.
